"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Yea the refs sucked, yea too many turnovers...but we just beat the #9 team in the country and we're 17-1! Our guys had a stretch where they played out of their minds too...that's huge on the road.

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

but what is impressive about that dunk to me is not the total degrees of rotation but turning your back on the rim and finding it again mid-air. I remember doing that as a kid on a minihoop and it's tough.

For the record, I'm not a eugenicist.

Yea. I like winning. Beer tastes better. Grass is greener. It just makes me feel like a better person.

What every longshot, come from behind, underdog will tell ya is this... The other guy, may in fact, be the favorite. The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough. But what the odds don't know is...this isn't a math test.

Good Win. Interesting game the latter part of the second half. I don't mind slower Big Ten baskeball and the physicality, but that in ways wasn't fun to watch at times (and not just because Minny was clawing their way back). Overall the team played pretty damn well, though, and should be proud to have went in there and won. Hope they enjoy the week off.

non-burke ball handling is still a concern, and M's big dudes can't jump. Other than that, there aren't many weaknesses in this team. I think Minnesota ends up the 3rd best team in the B1G. Quality road win tonight.

With this game Big Ten showed that every team is good in this division and Michigan has some crazy talent, and knowing that most of these guys are youngsters makes me think we are not going to be a door stop anymore in B1G

I just poured a little Glenfiddich into the glass to celebrate the win. Hard fought game, but a game that we needed and took on the road.

We did well - we got back to playing in line - even above - season averages, including 54.9% for FGs and 68% for FTs. 10-20 for three-pointers stands out as well. As a team, 19 assists and 13 steals best the Gophers stats as well. In the end, the turnovers worked out to 16 for the Gophers and 11 for Michigan, so they definitely matter in games where the numbers say we're quite evenly matched. The game came down to taking advantage of the little (and some not so little) aspects of the game, if you will, and we did that.
